That’s the line racist people love to go with.
It falls apart when you suggest spending a ton of cash on social welfare programs to help those locals and get told “well, no actually”.
Ah so you’re just going to pretend that the very real reason is a fake used by racists, simply because you have no actual reason to disagree with it and because it’s not actually racist. Gotcha.
Well no actually.
I’d say that whenever a party proposes such measures they never get voted in to power.
It’s almost like people fall for the mainstream media’s propaganda, right? Like, oh I don’t know, increasing demand for housing while not increasing supply having no impact on availability? Or more demand doesn’t drive prices up? Or these marches and everyone at them being neo-nazi racists rather than people who want our government to actually fix these problems?
No, no, I’m sure the mainstream government controlled media that you guys are agreeing with are right. They’re the good guys.
